CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

The General Spirit of Enterprise and
Prosperity Noticed Within Two Blocks.
The spirit of improvement and beauti-
flying homes and their surroundings was
never SO noticeable in Sacramento as at
present. New residences are being erected.
and those already occupied improved and
painted; old walks replaced with fine arti-
fetal stone pavement, and front fences re-
moved. to be succeeded by new ones of
handsome light patterns in iron or other
modern designs, for lawn protection and
enumeration. Wherever a person goes
within the city these evidences of awaken
ing enterprise and prosperity greet the eye
and enkindle warm feeling of satisfac-
ton at the outlook. Every dollar thus ex-
pended in identifying residences and their
surroundings makes life more enjoyable,
vexation less pointed, and adds tenfold to
the appearance and value of our homes as
such, and to the attractiveness of the city.
Among the improvements noticed yes
terday in a few minutes walk and within
the space of two or three blocks from Tenth
and III streets, may be mentioned the
premises of G. w. Clarke, where about
1900 have recently been expended in
handsomely painting residence and build
ings, constructing an extended amount of
artificial stone sidewalk of the very best
class and appearance that has been laid in
the city, erecting an elegant iron fence on
fine stone coping upon three sides of the
grounds, which occupy full quarter of
square, raising the lawns to high grade,
etc.
The premises of J. H. Glide, which
occupy the other half of the same square
fronting on H street, is being similarly
beautified and improved. The grounds
have been raised, the residence handsomely
painted, and fine artificial stone-walk and
iron fence upon stone coping, are now being
constructed.
Across the street, R. S. Carey's premises,
have been greatly improved by raising and |
otherwise identifying the grounds. At
Tenth and G streets, G. A. Stoddard has |
recently had a splendid artificial stone
walk put down, and on the opposite side |
of the street w. H. Davis has made similar
On G street. between Tenth and Eley- |
enth streets, not half block away, c.. P. |
Corliss is putting up handsome two-story |
residence, and Immediately opposite, on |
the south side of G street, Duncan Beau
mont recently completed a fine residence |
OF two stories and basement with mod |
ern Improvements.
AT Tenth and streets, the residence and |
grounds of Mrs. S. B. Hubbard and L. A. |
Epson, have been very greatly improved |
and beautitied, and occupying quarter of |
a block as they do, have added very much |
to the appearance of the neighborhood. A |
new iron fence has been built upon two |
sides of the grounds, ornamental trees put |
out, the buildings painted, and row of |
palms set outside of the walk on the Tenth |
and street side. On the opposite side of |
Tenth street, between T and G streets, |
George E. Kuchler has recently completed |
a neat six-room cottage.
1t will be observed that the improve |
ments here mentioned are all of substan- |
tial character, and within an area of a |
couple of blocks, and this is only an Illus
tration of what is to be seen generally |
throughout the city. If this spirit of bet |
terment continues and extends as it should |
to all the adjoining property owners, Sacra-
mento will soon be in reputation and fact,
the most beautiful, and the Queen City of
the Pacific coast.
